    It’s all well and good until you end up like the US or the DPRK. Any clown fiesta can be touted as “democracy” as long as the people doing it don’t have any meaningful resistance to doing so. Objective truth is a myth in the real world.

      Any system can be undermined with enough criminal energy.

      People often argue against certain laws that they can be abused if judges collude with the executive.
      But if the separation of power between executive, legislative and judiciary and the related mutual controls break down then the actual laws don’t matter anymore anyway.
